'The  advantages  of 
our  Document  Files 
for  filing  all  kinds  of 
folded  documents,  over 
the  old  methods  of  fil- 
ing them  loosely  in 
pigeon-holes  or  tin 
or  pasteboard  recep- 
tacles, are  very  great 
and  need  only  to  be 
seen  to  be  appreciated. 

We  mention  a few 
of  the  most  important 
advantages: 

The  capacity  of  any 
wall  space  can  be  at 
least  doubled  by  the 
use  of  our  Document 
files. 


Fig.  1.  U.  S.  DOCUMENT  FILE, 
with  Compressor  locked.  (Patented.) 


Documents  are  placed  in  an  upright  position  and  compressed  into  the 
smallest  possible  space. 

When  Compressor  is  released,  the  Follower  Board  drops  back  to  the  desired 
angle  for  examination  of  papers  ; admits  of  reading  titles  and  memoranda  from 
top  to  bottom  of  each  ; and  the  removal  of  any  desired  paper  without  disturbing 
or  disarranging  others. 


Documents  are  kept 
free  from  dust  and 
insects  and  are  not 
subjected  to  any  wear 
in  being  placed  in  or 
taken  from  the  files. 

Sections  of  Docu- 
ment Files  (any  num- 
ber up  to  100)  can,  if 
desired,  be  fitted  with 
our  patent  locking  at- 
tachment, locking  all 
the  files  simultane- 
ously.

rounded,  thereby  avoiding  the  rough  edges  of  cut  metal,  and  adding  to  the 
strength  of  drawers.  All  four  sides  of  drawer  front  are  folded  at  right  angles,  thus 
increasing  its  strength.  Its  lower  end  is  riveted  to  bottom,  the  sides  of  which  are 
bent  up  at  right  angles,  with  folded  edges,  forming  a brace  from  back  to  front. 
To  further  strengthen  the  file  and  brace  front  to  bottom,  a continuous  piece  of 
best  quality  nickel-plated  flat  steel  rod,  with  round  edges,  is  used  ; both  ends  are 
riveted  to  front  and  one  portion  of  it  to  the  end  of  file  bottom,  while  the  sides  are  of 
such  height  as  to  prevent  papers  from  falling  out  when  compressor  is  released. 

At  the  option  of  the  purchaser,  either  of  our  two  styles  of  patent  compressors, 
the  U.  S.  or  the  Lang,  are  furnished.  (Figs,  i and  2.) 

The  U.  S.  Compressor  is  made  of  heavy  burnished  steel  of  best  quality, 
copper  plated  and  nickel  plated.  It  slides  on  the  flat  steel  rods,  and  to  it  the 
Follower  Board  is  firmly  riveted. 

The  Lang  Compressor  slides  on  a corrugated  strip  of  heavy  plate  steel,  with 
edges  folded  double,  copper  plated  and  nickel  plated,  riveted  in  center  to  the 
bottom  of  filed  rawer,  which  is  double  grooved.  The  Compressor  parts  are  made 
of  heavy  plate  steel,  both  parts  formed  with  sides  at  right  angles,  giving  great 
strength.  The  Follower  Board  is  firmerly  riveted  to  Compressor,  which  is  easily 
released,  either  by  Compressor  Lever  or  from  top  of  Follower  Board,  giving  at  once 
the  desired  angle  for  examination  of  papers. 

The  Follower  Board  is  made  of  alternate  strips  of  walnut  and  ash  firmly  glued, 
which  make  a much  stronger  board  than  if  made  of  one  kind  of  wood,  and  prevent 
warping  and  splitting.

The  uprights,  top,  bottom  and  shelves  are  made  of  best  quality  cold  rolled  and 
pickled  steel.  Rows  of  strong  shelf  supports  are  punched  and  formed  from 
uprights,  and  the  shelves,  which  have  sides  and  back  bent  at  right  angles,  are  then 
forced  into  the  shelf  supports  under  pressure.  The  uprights  are  attached  to  top 
and  bottom  plates  in  same  manner,  making  a cabinet  of  strongest  possible  con- 
struction. The  backs  are  also  made  of  cold  rolled  steel,  have  edges  bent  at  right 
angles,  are  neatly  fitted  and  firmly  riveted  to  edges  of  uprights,  top  and  bottom, 
and  to  each  and  every  shelf.  One  angle  or  flange  is  inch  wider  than  the  one 
riveted  with  it  to  same  upright,  and  is  before  being  riveted,  formed  around  the  edges 
of  upright  and  the  narrower  flange,  thereby  making  the  joints  perfectly  dust  proof.

The  cabinet  is  strengthened  by  a continuous  inch  round  steel  rod,  bent  at 
corners  at  right  angles,  closely  fitted  to  cabinet,  and  around  this  the  front  edges  of 
top,  sides  and  bottom  are  formed,  fully  encasing  the  same  ; besides  adding  to  the 
strength  of  cabinet,  it  avoids  all  sharp  edges  and  is  of  pleasing  appearance.  The 
front  edges  of  all  partitions  are  nicely  rounded  y inch  in  diameter. 

When  Filedrawers  are  in  place  in 
cabinet  the  tops  are  just  under  the 
bottom  center  of  front  of  horizontal 
partitions  (see  fig.  5),  the  projection 
of  x/z  of  the  y bead  making  the 
cabinet  practically  dust  proof. 

In  many  cabinets  the  lower  portion 
consists  of  a Base  containing  Book- 
Shelves  and  Cupboards  or  Cupboards, 
Large  Drawers,  etc.,  and  so  arranged 
that  the  front  portion  of  its  top 
forms  a ledge  sufficiently  wide  to 
admit  of  placing  Document  Files  on 
it  for  examination  of  papers.  When 
cabinets  are  so  constructed,  suspen- 
sion attachments  attached  direct  to 
the  Files  are  neither  helpful  or  at 
all  desirable,  but  with  all  cabinets 
we  provide  at  a convenient  height, 
Suspension  Brackets  (see  fig.  8)  on 
which  files  can  readily  be  suspended 
while  papers  are  being  examined. 


When  the  cabinet  is  placed  directly  on  the  floor,  it  is  provided  with  a base  six 
inches  high,  formed  of  strong  bridged  supports,  connected  with  a frame  of  band  iron, 
and  this  is  strongly  bolted  to  the  bottom  of  cabinet.  The  front  of  base  is  made  of 
heavy  steel  plate,  riveted  to  bridged  supports. 

When  cabinet  rests  on  base  containing  Cupboards  or  Drawers  etc.,  a bar  of 
channel  iron  is  riveted  to  top  of  Base  and  one  strip  of  iron  to  bottom  of  cabinet,  and 
when  cabinet  is  placed  in  position,  the  latter  strip  fits  snugly  in  the  groove  of  the 
former,  and  this  holds  cabinet  firmly  in  place. 

Where  there  is  a ledge  in  front  of  upper  section  of  cabinet  on  top  of  base 
section,  (see  figs.  13  and  14,  pages  9 and  11)  the  ledge  is  covered  with  Brussels 
carpet  with  edges  bound  with  brass  finished  antique  copper  or  nickel  plated  to 
match  other  trimmings  on  cabinet.

The  Cornice  is  formed  of  sheet  steel  with  brass  ornaments,  finished  nickel  plated 
or  antique  copper,  or  constructed  of  heavy  ornamental  rolled  steel  with  raised  figures, 
and  finished  antique  bronze  or  other  color  as  desired.

Fig.  7.  SUSPENSIONS  FOR  METAL  DOCU/AENT  FILES. 

(Patented.) 


When  desired,  we 
furnish  suspension 
attachments  for  each 
file,  and  for  this  pur- 
pose we  have  the 
best  and  strongest 
devices  made.  Our 
suspension  for  the 
U.  S.  File  (see  letter 
B in  fig.  7)  is  com- 
posed of  two  mov- 
able armswith  hooks 
punched  and  formed 
from  sheet  steel  ; 
these  are  riveted  at 
the  lower  ends  to 
sides  of  file  near  the 
bottom  and  close  to 
the  end.  When  the 
file  is  withdrawn 
from  l’igeon-hole, 
the  hooks  of  arms 

catch  in  hooks  formed  from  the  upright  partitions  of  cabinet  near  front  edge  ; 
flanges  turned  from  the  edge  of  arms  bear  against  the  inside  edges  of  flat  rods  at 
the  end  of  file,  and  the  file  is  suspended  as  shown. 

For  the  Lang  File  we  have  what  we  call  a Straight  Suspension  with  drop  front 
(see  letter  A in  fig.  7).  With  this  suspension  each  Pigeon-hole  is  provided  at  the 
top,  near  front  edge,  with  a plate  having  two  hooks.  The  back  of  file,  which  is 
formed  the  same  as  front  of  regular  file 
without  suspension,  is  provided  with  a 
strong  wire  across  the  top,  and  the  metal 
is  cut  away  in  two  places  near  each  side, 
leaving  open  spaces  below  the  wire. 

When  the  file  is  withdrawn,  the  wire  at 
open  spaces  catches  against  the  hooks, 
the  file  drops  about  an  eight  of  an  inch, 
and  the  back  of  file,  near  the  bottom, 
rests  firmly  against  the  bottom  edge 
of  Pigeon-hole,  thus  suspending  the  file  as  shown. 

The  file  front,  which  is  hinged  to  drawer  bottom, 
is  then  released  by  turning  a knob,  and  the  front  is 
dropped  down  to  position  shown,  thus  giving  free  access 
to  the  papers,  even  though  the  file  be  entirely  filled. 

Fig.  8.  Suspension  Brackets. 


In  ordinary  cases  we  do  not  recommend  a suspension  attachment  of  any  kind 
attached  to  each  file,  as  it  is  not  of  practical  value  in  files  above  the  level  of  the  eye, 
or  in  the  rows  of  files  nearest  the  floor  ; and  in  most  cases  Suspension  Brackets  like 
shown  in  fig.  8,  or  Sliding  Shelves  like  shown  in  fig.  4,  or  a Projecting  Ledge  like 
shown  in  fig.  14,  gives  much  better  satisfaction.

Pigeon-holes,  Book  Shelves,  etc.  The  Filedrawers  (see  the  ones 
shown  in  combination  cabinets,  figs.  4 and  14)  are  made  of  sheet 
steel,  with  rounded  edges,  and  fitted  with  our  Shannon  filing 
devices.  See  points  of  advantage  of  the  “ Shannon  ” system  of

Roffer  BooPt-Sfielues. 

The  necessity  for  an  improvement  in  the  means  of  holding  record  books  has 
led  inventors  to  devise  various  improvements  over  the  old-fashioned  upright  wooden 
receptacles  that  exist  in  most  public  offices.  It  was  found  after  years  of  experience 
that  when  a record  book  stands  on  its  end,  not  only  is  the  binding  injured  each  time 
the  volume  is  removed  from  its  place,  but  the  threads  with  which  the  sections  of  the 
book  are  put  together,  become  loosened  and  worn  in  consequence  of  the  sagging  of 
the  paper  from  its  own  weight. 

Moreover,  it  has  been  found  that  if  a fire  takes  place  in  the  building  or  vault  in 
which  the  books  stand  on  end  in  wooden  receptacles,  the  books  are  generally  all 
destroyed,  because  they  do  not  form  a compact  mass  of  paper,  but  have  air  spaces 
between  the  leaves  which  render  them  inflammable,  while  experience  has  taught  us 
that  if  books  lie  flat  on  their  sides,  it  is  almost  impossible  for  them  to  burn  up,  as 
they  form  a compact  mass. 

In  consequence  of  this,  book-shelves  have  been- constructed  of  wood  to  permit 
the  placing  on  them  of  books  in  this  manner,  instead  of  in  the  upright  position 
referred  to. 

Our  Roller  Book-Shelves  are  a great  improvement  upon  all  other  forms  of 
book-shelves  heretofore  constructed.  They  are  made  entirely  of  steel  and  brass, 
all  connecting  parts  firmly  riveted,  and  are  practically  fire-proof. 

The  following  summary  of  their  advantages  will  show  why  they  are  preferable 
to  any  other  style  of  shelf. 

First — Each  shelf  is  provided  with  a series  of  metal  rollers  on  which  the  books 
run  so  sqtoothly  that  they  are  protected  from  any  wear  whatever  in  the  necessary, 
frequent,  and  continuous  handling  to  which  they  must  be  subjected. 

Second — The  rollers  extend  across  the  opening  the  full  length  or  width, 
supporting  all  parts  of  the  book,  which  rest  evenly  upon  them,  so  that  there  is  no 
sagging  of  the  book. 

Third — The  rollers  are  constructed  of  tubes  made  from  best  quality  seamless 
brass  tubing  and  cold  rolled  steel,  and  the  bearings  are  steel  pins  firmly  riveted  to 
the  frame-work  of  shelf. 

Fourth — The  cases  are  made  of  heavy  cold  rolled  and  pickled  steel,  and  the 
workmanship,  ornamentation  and  finish  is  first-class  throughout. 

Fifth — Should  a fire  take  place  in  a vault,  no  damage  will  be  done  the  books 
beyond  scorching  the  outside^at  the  most. 

Sixth — The  chances  for  such  a fire  are  reduced  to  the  minimum  by  use  of  this 
incombustible  furniture  in  the  vaults  instead  of  inflammable  light  woods. 

Seventh — It  is  far  more  economical  than  other  styles  of  shelves.  It  is  well 
known  that  where  ordinary  shelves  are  used,  it  is  only  a question  of  time  until  the 
books  have  to  be  recovered  with  canvas  covers  or  rebound.  The  first  costs  nearly 
as  much,  and  the  second  several  times  as  much  as  our  best  Roller  Book-Shelves 
complete  in  cabinets. 

We  make  two  regular  styles  of  book-shelves,  and  furnish  either  at  the  option  of 
the  purchaser. 

We  make  the  shelves  to  suit  books  of  any  size,  and  make  the  number  of  rollers 
in  shelf  in  proportion  to  the  size  of  book.

Always  desirous  of  improving  the  quality  and  construction  of  our  goods,  we  have 
lately  made  some  changes  in  the  Roller  Shelves,  and  we  show  below  the  two  styles 
which  we  will  furnish  in  future. 

no.  3. 

The  shelf  frame  is  made  of  band  steel,  firmly  riveted  together,  and  contains  two 
continuous  rollers,  each  the  full  length  of  shelf  and  one  which  is  simply  divided 
by  thickness  of  center  brace.  The  front  roller,  made  of  heavy  seamless  brass  tubing 
lined  inside  with  tube  of  cold  rolled  steel,  is  nickel  plated  or  finished  antique  copper 
as  preferred.  Balance  of  rollers  are  tubes  of  cold  rolled  steel,  finished  with  two  coats 
best  baking  japan.  In  the  ends  of  each  roller  there  are  firmly  attached  journals  that 
form  bearings  on  steel  pins  which  are  strongly  riveted  to  shelf  frame. 


Cl 


:d: 


This  is  the  only  shelf  made  at  the  present  time  in  such  a manner  that  the  entire 
width  of  the  book  rests  on  a series  of  continuous  rollers,  thus  preventing  the  book  from 

sagging,  which  is  the  case  when 
a series  of  small  rollers  is  used. 

Cases  with  Book-Shelves  are 
arranged  for  certain  sizes  of 
books,  and  the  shelves  are  so 
placed  that  the  book  rests  on  the 
rollers  as  shown  in  Fig.  15^,  the 
back  of  the  book  projecting  from 
the  shelf,  so  that  it  can  be  easily 
taken  hold  of  and  drawn  out. 


The  shelf  frame  is  made  of  heavy  band  steel,  firmly  riveted  together  and  double 
braced,  making  a remarkably  strong  shelf.  The  back  roller  is  a continuous  one,  full 
length  of  shelf;  the  center  rollers  are  divided  only  by  thickness  of  center  brace ; the  two 
short  front  rollers  are  mounted  in  brackets,  and  these  are  firmly  riveted  to  front  bar. 
Rollers  are  exactly  the  same  as  to  material  and  construction  as  described  under  style 
No.  4. 

The  shelves  are  constructed  entirely  of  wrought  steel  and  brass  ; there  is  no  wood  or 
cast-iron  about  them

The  upright  supports  are  made  of  one  solid  sheet  of  cold  rolled  and  pickled 
steel,  with  adjustment  holes  perforated  l/z  inch  apart,  so  shelves  can  be  adjusted  to 
suit  books  of  different  thicknesses  when  desired.  Each  shelf  is  supported  by  four 
strong  bolts  passing  through  holes  in  perforated  steel  plates.  [Continued  on  page  14.]

For  description  of  regular  base  and  cornice,  and  manner  of  connecting  cabinet 
to  special  base  containing  cupboards  or  drawers,  etc.,  see  page  4. 

In  front  of  each  steel  upright  are  placed  revolving  rollers,  held  in  place  by 
brackets,  two  feet  apart,  attached  to  uprights  ; the  rollers  revolving  freely  on  steel 
pins,  prevent  wear  at  ends  of  books. 

If  for  any  reason  it  is  desired  to  have  books  placed  in  upright  position,  we 
furnish  upright  stalls  provided  with  sets  of  rollers  at  bottom  (as  shown  in  fig.  4), 
by  means  of  which  books  are  handled  with  comparative  ease,  and  any  great  wear  on 
the  end  of  book  is  prevented. 

“ DaiTij  Report  Firedraooers. 

With  Insurance  Companies  and  Insurance  Agencies  the  filing  of  Daily  Reports 
in  a satisfactory  manner  has  been  quite  a problem.  Pigeon-holes,  Plain  Drawers, 
Pigeon-holes  fitted  with  Pasteboard  Boxes,  also  Binders  of  various  kinds  in  book 
form  have  been  used,  but  none  of  them  have  proven  satisfactory  in  all  respects.  We 
have  given  the  matter  a great  deal  of  thought  and  attention;  have  experimented 
with  several  forms  of  Filedrawers  and  finally  produced  one  (see  Filedrawers  in  upper 
section  of  fig.  18)  which  is  far  superior  in  every  way  to  anything  heretofore 
manufactured.  The  Drawer  is  made  of  cold  rolled  and  pickled  steel  with  edges 
rounded.  The  Compressor  is  formed  of  heavy  spring  steel  wire,  nickel  plated,  and 
slides  on  a heavy  steel  plate,  nickel  plated;  it  will  firmly  hold  a single  paper,  adjusts 
itself  to,  and  as  firmly  holds,  any  thickness  of  papers  up  to  the  extreme  capacity  of 
the  drawer,  and  from  any  position  on  the  slide  is  instantly  and  easily  released  and 
thrown  back  to  position  shown.  These  Filedrawers  are  fitted  with  suspension 
attachments  with  which  drawers  are  suspended  in  position  shown.  Our  suspension 
attachments  are  strong,  reliable,  and  work  in  a most  satisfactory  manner. 

We  furnish  the  Filedrawers  without  suspension  attachments,  if  desired. 

Fronts  of  Filedrawers  are  provided  with  bronze  combination  pull  and  label- 
holder,  as  shown,  finished  nickel  plated  or  antique  copper. 


3ooR  Compressor  Drainers. 

For  the  filing  of  small  books,  pamphlets,  storage  of  bundles  of  old  Reports 
transferred  from  Daily  Report  Filedrawers  and  other  similar  uses,  we  provide  Large 
Compressor  Drawers  (see  drawer  in  lower  section  of  fig.  18)  made  in  design  shown, 
of  heavy  cold  rolled  and  pickled  steel.  These  drawers  are  run  into  the  cabinets  on 
rollers,  and  are  handled  with  ease  even  when  most  heavily  laden.  Each  drawer  is 
provided  at  the  back  end  with  strong  upright  bars  of  band  steel  braced  with  lighter 
strips  of  band  steel  as  shown;  the  ends  of  upright  bars  catch  against  the  back  of 
upper  horizontal  partition  and  drawer  is  suspended  as  shown.  The  Compressor  is 
made  of  heavy  malleable  iron  with  edges  at  right  angles,  and  with  bearing  part  of 
heavy  plate  steel.  It  is  provided  with  % thumb-screw  and  can  be  adjusted  at  any 
distance  from  the  front  of  drawer  to  the  back.  The  Compressor  Strip  is  made  of 
heavy  corrugated  steel,  copper  plated  and  nickel  plated,  with  edges  folded  double. 

Drawer  Front  is  provided  with  bronze  combination  pull  and  label-holder  of 
either  of  the  three  styles  shown  in  fig.  18,  finished  nickel  plated  or  antique  copper.

PigeoR-f^oIes — (petal. 

(See  Fig.  4.) 

We  make  cabinets  containing  Pigeon-holes  of  any  size  and  suited  to  any  purpose. 
The  gauge  of  metal  is  governed  by  the  size  of  Pigeon-holes  and  the  purpose  for 
which  they  are  intended.  The  front  edges  of  all  Pigeon-holes  are  rounded. 

Plain  Drawers — (petal. 

(See  Figs.  4 and  9.) 

Drawers  are  made  of  cold  rolled  and  picketed  steel  ; sides  and  bottom  formed 
from  one  piece,  and  backs  and  fronts  bent  at  ends  and  strongly  riveted  to  sides  and 
bottom.  The  top  edges  of  drawers  are  formed  around  a continuous  wire,  making 
a rounded  edge.  We  furnish,  either  nickel-plated  or  bronze  pulls,  as  desired.  Extra 
large  drawers  have  pigeon-holes  provided  with  six  rollers  on  which  even  the  most 
heavily  laden  drawers  will  roll  easily. 

Cupboards. 

(See  Figs.  13  and  14.) 

Uprights  top  and  bottom  are  made  of  heavy  cold  rolled  and  pickeled  plate  steel. 
Each  upright  is  formed  at  top  and  bottom  Y inch  at  right  angles  and  firmly  riveted 
to  top  and  bottom  of  cupboard.  The  backs  are  of  cold  rolled  steel  with  edges  formed 
at  right  angles,  and  are  neatly  fitted  and  riveted  to  uprights.  One  angle  or  flange 
is  x/z  inch  wider  than  the  one  riveted  with  it  to  same  upright  and  is  before  being 
riveted,  formed  around  the  edges  of  upright  and  the  narrower  flange,  thereby 
making  the  joints  perfectly  dust  proof.  Cupboards  are  made  regularly  with  one 
space,  but  can  be  divided  by  a shelf  or  shelves  if  desired.  Heavy  paneled  doors, 
made  of  cold  rolled  and  pickeled  steel,  are  hinged  directly  to  inch  steel  rod 
running  entire  length  of  height  of  door  making  one  continuous  hinge.  Each  door  is 
provided  with  nickel-plated  bar-handle  with  catch. 


Where  I.ocks  are  required  on  Drawers  or  Cupboards,  we  provide  Sargent  & 
Greenleaf  best  two-tumbler  flat  key  locks,  unless  otherwise  specified. 

For  Cupboards  we  also  furnish  two-tumbler  combination  safe  locks,  when 
desired.  (See  fig.  4.)

What  we  term  an  “Omnibus”  is  a cabinet  on  wheels  or  casters,  designed  to 
be  run  into  a vault  or  fire-proof  room  at  night,  and  run  out  to  the  desired  position 
in  bank  or  office  during  the  day.  It  may  contain  Roller  Rook-Shelves,  Document 
Files,  Pigeon-holes  or  other  devices  in  any  quantity  desired.  Instead  of  a regular 
base,  it  has  a frame  of  heavy  angle-iron,  to  which  are  bolted  the  axle  for  large  wheel 
in  center  and  smaller  wheels  at  each  end.  The  large  wheels  have  heavy  rubber  tires. 
Being  balanced  on  the  large  center  wheels  the  Omnibus  is  easily  handled  and  the 
rubber  tires  make  it  practically  noiseless.  We  make  them  either  single  or  double 
faced  as  desired  ; they  are  constructed  in  the  strongest  possible  manner  and 
thoroughly  braced  in  every  direction. 

FINISH,  workmanship,  and  ornamentation  are  first-class  throughout. 

All  japanned  work  of  Cabinets,  Omnibuses,  Vault  Tables,  Desks,  etc.,  is  finished 
with  two  coats  of  best  baking  japan  at  a temperature  of  40  degrees.  All  fronts  and 
exposed  parts  have  one  emery-papered  and  finished  with  one  extra  coat  of  best 
finishing  japan.  All  exposed  ends,  base,  cornice,  fronts  of  drawers,  etc.,  are  hand- 
somely striped  and  ornamented.  All  cabinets  of  large  size  are  made  in  sections  that 
will  admit  of  passing  through  doors,  and  arranged  to  be  securely  joined  together.

Sixth  — Papers  from  the  same  source  may  be  filed  by  themselves,  in  order  of 
date,  without  in  the  least  disarranging  the  others.  This  method  is  the  only  one  by 
which  this  is  at  all  practicable. 

Seventh — The  convenience  of  the  method  is  inherent  in  itself.  It  does  not 
depend  on  the  skill  of  those  operating  it. 

Eighth — When  a single  file  is  used,  very  little  room  is  taken  up  ; it  may  be

In  the  pigeon-hole  system 
of  filing  checks,  drafts,”  etc., 
papers  are  always  liable  to 
accidental  loss,  are  generally 
covered  with  dust  and  some- 
times destroyed  by  vermin,  and 
what  is  much  more  important, 
the  pigeon-holes  take  up  a good 
>rtion  of  very  valuable  vault  space. 
Acme  Bank  Check  File  not  only 
a very  great  saving  of  vault 
t also  greatly  lessens  labor  and 
in  distributing  and  referring  to 

matter  whether  the  checks  of  a 

ipositor  are  few  or  many,  they  occupy  only  as 
much  space  in  the  file  as  they  actually  require, 
there  being  no  waste  space  whatever.  The  index  ex- 
pands as  it  is  filled  up  until  it  reaches  the  extreme 
capacity  of  the  file. 

Standard  size,  20  in.  long.  10  in.  wide,  4^  in.  high  outside,  9 in.  wide  inside. 
We  make  files  i3->s  in  long  to  go  into  cabinets  with  document  files  or  book  shelves. 

Only  the  smaller  banks  would  have  sufficient  capacity  with  a single  file  to 

satisfactorily  handle  their  checks,  so  we  also  make  them  up  into  cabinets  containing 
any  number  of  files.  Instead  of  it  being  necessary  to  go  to  the  vault  every  time  a 
check  is  wanted,  the  check  file  or  files  can  be  taken  from  the  vault  to  the  desk  of 
the  one  having  them  in  charge,  thus  affording  almost  instantaneous  access  to  the 
checks  of  any  depositor. 

The  Acme  Bank  Check  Files  and  Cabinets  are  kept  regularly  in  stock  in  quarter- 
sawed,  antique  oak,  well  seasoned,  with  best  polished  finish  and  are  made  to  order, 
when  desired,  in  walnut,  cherry,  or  ash. 

The  Compressor  and  Compressor-Strip  are  made  of  extra  quality  sheet  steel, 
heavily  nickeled.  1'he  Compressor  is  beyond  all  question  the  best  and  most 
convenient  made. 

The  index  sheets  are  made  of  extra  tough,  hard  finished  press  board  of  finest 
quality,  and  each  sheet  is  securely  fastened  to  the  Compressor  Strip  in  bottom  of  file; 
the  attachment  going  down  beyond  the  bottom  of  inside  of  file  makes  it  impossible 
for  checks  to  slip  under  partitions  from  one  space  to  another.  With  the  Compressor 
drawn  back  to  the  extreme  end,  the  index  sheets  can  easily  be  removed  or  replaced 
one  at  a time  ; this  is  sometimes  a great  convenience,  particularly  when  the  names 
of  depositors  are  on  the  index  sheet  and  it  is  desired  to  add  extra  index  sheets  to 
those  originally  in  the  file.  When  the  Compressor  is  released  all  of  the  index  sheets 
together  with  the  checks  filed  between  them,  fall  back  to  the  most  convenient  angle 
for  examination,  and  this  also  throws  the  names  of  depositors  or  subdivisions  under 
which  checks  are  filed,  more  plainly  into  view  than  where  the  index  sheets  remain 
upright.  The  index  sheets  can  be  separated  any  desired  distance  and  each  one 
independent  of  the  others  will  remain  at  the  proper  angle,  thus  greatly  facilitating 
the  distribution  of  checks  or  other  papers.  The  Compressor-lever  is  raised  to  an 
upright  position  and  papers  compressed  as  firmly  as  desired. 

For  single  files  we  furnish  either  of  the  following  indexes  as  may  be  best  suited 
to  one's  business  or  the  papers  to  be  filed.  Where  it  is  desired  to  file  checks  by  the 
names  of  the  depositors,  we  furnish  indexes  with  names  at  top  of  index  sheets  when 
list  of  depositors  is  furnished  us  ; or  will  provide  index  with  blank  sheets  at  top  of 
which  strips  with  names  can  be  pasted  as  desired.  Where  it  is  desired  to  file  alpha- 
betically, we  furnish  index  containing  forty  index  sheets  with  subdivisions  of  the 
alphabet.

Where  it  is  desired  to  file  by 
date,  we  furnish  an  index  of  forty- 
three  sheets,  thirty-one  of  them 
being  numbered  from  one  to  thirty- 
one,  the  other  twelve  having  Jan., 
Feb.,  Mar  , etc.,  printed  on  them. 

The  check  file  with  the  last 
mentioned  form  of  index  also 
makes  the  best  possible  “Tickler” 
in  which  to  fde  first  by  months 
and  at  the  first  of  each  month
